Alchemy 5 Script & HUD Progress!

Evening, Sinners! I decided I'm going to try and keep up with the Blog properly, so I can keep people up to date on what's in progress, as well as what's hitting the stores.

I spent the early part of the day cleaning up the little Permissions snafu with the Applier HUDs in the new Juno & Jupiter Skins packages (the HUDs were no Copy, causing the unpacking script to ignore them). Those packages are now sorted... and anyone who had issues unpacking the HUDs can get the new package from a re delivery terminal or the vendors.

More important to most of you will be the progress I made on the A5 Script & HUD update today. I had a few communications issues to sort out with the new Slave Script (which goes in the attachments), and I got those finished! Additionally, I got the new Surface Panel on the A5 HUD polished off. I think everyone will find it a little more friendly and intuitive, especially new customers. All of the existing controls are still available, with more focus on the ones that are most often used. You can see how it's progressing here:

You'll see elements that are very familiar from the Lite HUDs of recent releases, with a few bits renamed... like "Object" instead of "Attachment" or "Subpart" and "Surface" instead of "Class." The biggest evolution is a larger texture sample size, and much smaller buttons for the less used Surface Settings, light Bright and Shine. The RGB interface is a carryover, since it's one of the best ones available in SL by any measure.

You might notice the 'Tabs' on the Product Bar on the left. This is where you'll change between the Surface panel (or SFC panel, show above), or the PSR Panel... which will have the Position, Scale, & Rotation controls. The PSR panel isn't ready to show you yet, but I think everyone will be pleased with it... and with a little more room, it will be easier to make it more friendly and intuitive as well.

More updates soon! And as soon as the new HUD is finished, I'll be releasing several styles of new Mesh Fae ears, which you may have noticed in The Forsaken skin panels!

Stay Sinful!

Beware the darkness... and welcome The Forsaken!

The next Sinful Needs Artisan Skins are ready! Behold The Forsaken! These vampiric demons lurk in the Void, just on the other side of the Veil... waiting for a chance to slip through and grab their next meal: the very energies of life!

The Forsaken skins include several options. The first of these are skin options:

Base vs. Feeding Flush (Skin versions): Think of The Forsaken as a cross between demons and vampires... who like to drain the life essence of their victims or even willing 'donors.' The base skins are meant to represent their usual appearance, with the Flushed Skins showing the warmth of a recent Feeding. You should, of course, wear whichever appeals to you... for whatever reason.

Void Taint (Tattoo Layer): When once touches the darkness too often, it can leave its mark on you. Many of The Forsaken take pride in the 'badge of horror' gifted to them by draining the life from others... a physical manifestation of the dark power they possess.

Corruption (Tattoo Layer, in 2 levels with and without Taint): The Forsaken are eternally ravenous, always looking for their next meal... even the most powerful of their kind. This hunger can show itself around their eyes and mouth... especially as they become aroused just before and after slaking their thirst with the living energy of their meal.

Try them all and see what suits you best! The Applier HUDs include textures to match your favorite Mesh accessories to your choice! The Multi-Applier HUD supports Tangos, Slink Hands, Feet, & Nails (male and female), Loud Mouth, Phat Azz, and Sinful Needs Demon Tails (Mesh and Flexi). In addition, these Applier HUDs come preloaded with matching textures for the imminent arrival of Sinful Needs Mesh Fae Ears AND Sinful Needs Mesh Genitals!

Hold on tight, the end of the year is going to be a wild ride!

Sinful Needs @ Fantasy Faire 2013!

Fantasy Faire 2013 starts tomorrow, April 20th, and runs through the 28th! As many of you are aware, Fantasy Faire is a Relay For Life event, which is an American Cancer Society endeavor to fund the effort to find a cure for Cancer! It's a worthy charitable cause, even setting aside the many Sims of awsomeness that make up the Faire this year! The Faire opens tomorrow, at 6AM! I hope to see you there!

Once it opens, you can find the Sinful Needs shop at the Faire right here:

Sinful Needs Basilisk Petites Released!

Greetings, Sinners! Hot on the heels of the Basilisk Skins line comes the first Sinful Needs Petites! You can now get Marilith & Morkoth in a petites version... complete with all of their Basilisk Wickedness in a single package. While these wicked lil things are certainly smaller than the usual Avatar, they are actually even more full of features than the Basilisk Skins Full Packages... and even come with their own scripted genitals! (These are pretty light duty, script-wise, but they certainly suit these little Petites perfectly!)

In addition to all the usual Petites options, these two come with their own versions of the Tail, Horns, Body Spines, Claws, & Silks that were included with the Skins Full Packages! Additionally, since they are prim/mesh-based, they can change their face to any of the 24 options in the full line, as well as swap between the Plated and No Plates version of the skins. They even come with Prim Eyes and a Lite HUD loaded with 10 Basilisk Eyes textures. Add to that all the Control HUD goodness... and the usual array of A4 awesomeness... and these little ones are packing serious fun!

Get the Demos in the Store or in the SLMP: Marilith / Morkoth ! Enjoy!

Morkoth & Marilith Baslisk Skins!

Greetings, Sinners! The first two skins in the new Baslisk skin line are now in the Main Store and listed on SLMP!

Each 'Single' Skin includes 4 facial options. The scale pattern on the face is the same for all four, but you get one with Brow Ridges and Forehead Plating, one with Plating only, one with Brows only, and one with just the scales. Furthermore, each one is offered on two body options: with back plates and without. This means there are 8 options for each skin.

These are packaged 3 ways: Basic skin packs include the Skin (with those 8 options), a modifiable shape, 2 eyes options, and a set of Mesh Demon Horns. Each of the 6 faces has it's own scale pattern and individual horns design. The Full skin packs include everything in the Basic package, plus a set of Mesh Body Spines, Rigged Mesh Fingernail Claws, Un-rigged Mesh Feet with claws, an Animated Mesh Spined Tail, and a set of Partial-Mesh Basilisk Silks! Finally, there are Complete skin packs for Marilith and Morkoth, which include all 6 Full skin packs, giving you all the face options and all the horn options in one package.

Free Demos are now available... so hope over to the Main Store to check them out, or grab the on SLMP here: Morkoth Demos - Marilth Demos.
